Britannia is firmly committed to the aspirations of MACN and feel it has a vital role to play in the global fight against corruption in shipping. Our view is that for corruption in shipping to be eliminated, there needs to be a unified approach to rejecting and resisting corrupt demands across the whole industry. In the first instance we are looking to increase awareness of MACN and its aims and initiatives among Britannia’s Members. We will proactively support our Members by sharing information on the latest issues and trends as well as potential solutions and best practice approaches about how to deal with maritime corruption. As tackling this urgent and pressing issue will require industry-wide support, we encourage our Members to consider the benefits of joining MACN themselves.
